He's the type of guy that can flip the switch probably better than anybody. He can be in here warming up with the guys and jackin' around and then he goes out there and crosses the line and, bang, he's all business and trying to win the drill. One minute he's putting ice cubes down a coach's back, and the next he's throwing a touchdown pass where he's totally focused on what he's doing. |
His legs look alive; he's powerful; he's fast; he's tough, ... He's a very, very good back. He's really made a splash this season so far and I'm sure he has plans to continue that. |
His quarterback rating was very high, ... He was 1-for-1, no interceptions. |
Hopefully by next week I'll be ready. He played in the last (preseason) game. I asked him how he was before he left (and) he said he was fine. That's all the knowledge I had on him. |
I asked him for that and I just think Ted thought there was a need at this time to make a change. I asked him if it had anything to do with coaching and he said no. |
I asked him how he was before he left after the last ballgame. He said he was fine, ... That's all the knowledge I had on him. |
I can just deal with the options that are available to me, and these are the options. Do I like them? Not necessarily. |
I can't honestly say where he is right now. |
I can't paint a pretty picture of 0-2, |
I can't paint a pretty picture of 0-2, ... We're not going to make it look pretty and say, 'Well, we've been here before, there's 14 games (left), it's a marathon, not a sprint.' But the reality is we do have 14 games to play and we can't panic. |
I can't think of a bye week we went into healthy, ... I think organizationally, we take full advantage of the bye. The philosophy whether we're going into the bye winning or losing, I've kept the same philosophy - how many days we're going to work with the players, the coaches' schedule, our research analysis, the changes we need to make. |
I didn't have a whole lot of choices. The doctors have held (Hunt and Jackson) back, so my choices have been limited, |
I didn't have a whole lot of choices. The doctors have held them back, so my choices have been limited. So what do I do from here? Well, we get them on (the field), we continue to condition them, we try to get them in the game on Thursday night against Tennessee, try to get them ready. I can just deal with the options that are available to me, and these are the options. Do I like them? Not necessarily. |
I didn't see a penalty. I'm sure the TV copy may show something different, but I was confused myself on who they penalized there. |
I didn't want to punt, so we took the shot and we were fortunate enough to make it. It got us going, it gave us some life. |
